So I was just reading Tom's Hardware guide's 5.25Ghz attempt with liquid nitrogen cooling.. (http://www.tomshardware.com/cpu/20031230/index.html)

While reading it, something occured to me. I live with in easy driving distance of -25C(-14F) tempratures. Those are just the lowest I've seen on TV so far. I'm sure once we get into Janurary I will see temps as low as -45C (-49F) I'll bet air cooling would become terribly effective with ambient air tempratures like that. Try to remember exposed flesh freezes in just 30 seconds in -60F weather.
I can't wait to convince the little lady we need to field trip up above the Arctic Circle :) She has 2 weeks vacation coming in January. Now if the shipment with my computers in it would just arrive I could get going on this and several other hair brained ideas.
